"The goal of this paper is to assert that the painterly non-photorealistic rendering of surfaces and textures in the computer game 'Team Fortress 2' (2007 Valve Corporation) has influenced look development in contemporary 3D animation films. This paper will focus on creating stylized look development through rendering of hand-painted textures of surfaces. This was achieved in my film, 'Expelled', using a mixture of hand-painted and procedurally generated textures to make the final film look like non-photorealistic concept art. By using painterly textures that have loose details and visible broken brush strokes, the artist has the potential in making an animated film look impressionistic. The makers of 'Team Fortress 2' (2007 Valve Corporation) were one of the first to set a standard for achieving painterly looking 3D renders which became a popular style. This demystified technique gave birth to a recent phenomenon of making contemporary 3D animation films look like hand-painted concept art. This stylized look continues to be implemented in film and games despite a significant development in photorealistic rendering. Films like 'Salesman Pete' (2010 S.T.E.A.K Kollective), 'Meet Buck' (2011 Team Cerf) and 'Mac N’ Cheese' (2011 Colorbleed) are some great examples of films that experimented with painterly rendering. The same way 2D animation utilized traditional methods to paint in color, contemporary 3D animation filmmakers and game developers have been heavily influenced by art of early painters and illustrators."

"The Puerto Rican government’s strategy for economic growth has historically been focused
around attracting foreign industries. This has led to the neglect of the local ones. Currently, Puerto
Rico is experiencing a financial crisis and a 12.6% unemployment rate (McIntyre, 2015) that have led
to 300,000 Puerto Rican migrating from 2011 to 2016 alone (Abel et al., 2016). In an effort to drive
economic development, the government has started to incentivize entrepreneurship. Leveraging
these efforts and integrating them to a systems thinking approach to local entrepreneurship can
offer local communities the opportunity to develop local business networks. This study identifies ways to empower local entrepreneurship in Puerto Rico. Design
management methodology and design thinking processes were used to research and analyze the local
context. The research findings demonstrated a disconnect between entrepreneurs and the general
community, lost opportunities pertaining to the local context, lack of an innovative forward thinking
culture and a need for motivation. As a result a service that integrates community expression with
entrepreneurial efforts and guidance was developed. This service aims to tackle these issues and
foster the development of impactful, long-term and profitable business opportunities that serve
Puerto Rico and its citizens."

"This thesis explores the potential for deep learning to contribute to the creation of stylized game art in the game development pipeline. The game development pipeline often requires that hundreds of hours of skilled artists’ time be spent on the production aspect of game art. This thesis proposes automating portions of the game art production process. Machine learning, specifically deep learning and style transfer, has the potential to liberate the artist in the game development pipeline. With deep learning, the artist may focus on developing the visual style, rather than painstakingly applying a developed style, in order to create production quality game assets." – First paragraph of author abstract.

"The purpose of this study is to explore the perception of colors in motion, and what
attracts the human eye. Across various mediums, artists naturally explore ways to
maintain the attention of their audience. While there are many ways to lead a viewer’s
focus, this thesis examines some of those methods beginning with color theory.
Designers can set themselves apart when they first have an understanding of color
theory and how to apply it in their work. When this is explored, the process of perception
and why we see the way we do cannot be ignored. It is not always acknowledged, but
there are visual attractors constantly leading our sight and subconsciously telling us
where to look. What if these attractors were combined with color theory? What could
happen? With the research provided, artists can preemptively influence the focus of the
viewer, and possibly better support the content of their work."

"Over time, the urban fabric of a city changes with economic and social
fluctuations. Just like the state of the economy, buildings of the city oscillate
in form, shape, and purpose. These changes in the urban fabric come at no
small cost. There are large financial, social, and urban implications whether
demolishing or constructing a building or adaptively reusing it to meet current
demands. By applying principles of industrialization in architectural construction,
it is possible to design a solution that anticipates the changes of a building,
minimizing the cost and time demands of the process of replacing or altering
the building to better suit changing circumstances. Therefore, the objective is to devise an architectural design that is
responsive to the fluctuations of the urban fabric and minimally expensive,
while providing an innovative lifestyle experience to its user."

"In countries like Paraguay, we start to see the difference in socio-economic backgrounds and layers within the people, the urban setting, but especially the architecture as an association to major architecture that represents wealth and power in the surrounding public parks and plazas in the city of Asunción, Paraguay. Many historical events had taken place in the most important plazas and parks of the Historic Downtown of Asunción. However, in today’s contemporary Asunción the relationship between the public spaces and city have collapsed. The rapid population growth of the Paraguayan informal settlements, the displacement of families due to flooding in the Chacarita Baja area, and the lack of provision of refugee areas by the government have led them to occupy the public parks and plazas as a result. By focusing on the issues of habitational crisis and sense of place in the developmental context of Paraguay, This thesis will establish the role of minor architecture to encode the vacant spaces. By exploring and identifying the major architectures that surround the site, to create spatial interventions that challenge the conventional thought of public space."

"Culture is a divisive concept. It differentiates some social groups, and merges others. Like time, it is ever changing though anchored by its core principles in what we call history. Middle Eastern culture as a broader perspective and Saudi Arabian as a narrower, represent an intriguing study for cultural evolution. From related architecture to culture, factors such as: education, economy, politics, technology, art, and society must be investigated. Globalization – the successor of modernism - attempts to tie groups, societies, businesses, and governments together through information technology. At its best, it aims to construct vantage points for cultural interaction. Movements for women rights, higher education, and technology carved out their own pockets for expression - a pocket within the Saudi Arabian society that focuses on creatively incorporating culture, social media, talent, and art to break local boundaries in accepting change, and the global perception of Saudi culture and heritage. These elements initiated the Saudi cultural evolution, but recent economic and political positions of the Saudi Arabian government administered the velocity required to stimulate a rapid rate of change; one they had not anticipated. Architecture as groundwork has historically adhered to provide social needs through physical depiction. Here, architecture must function in creating flexible spaces to interlace the various social and cultural layers of Saudi Arabia, whilst incorporating heritage and tradition in its structure. Does architecture play the same role a brush on canvas did for cultural evolution? Should it? This thesis seeks to explore such questions, allowing them the space to play within the context of Saudi Arabia and its architectural history."

"Also referred to as skin whitening, skin bleaching is the cosmetic use of chemical
agents to lighten the complexion of one’s skin and is currently considered to be a global
phenomenon practiced disproportionately within communities 'of color' and exceedingly
among people of African descent. In Dakar, Senegal, according to the World Health
Organization, '27% of Senegalese women are reported to use skin lightening products on a
regular basis. These products contain mercury, hydroquinone and caustic agents such as
sodium hydroxide all of which can cause kidney damage, cancer and disfiguration.' Xeesal
(Heh-suhl) is documentary on skin bleaching in Dakar, Senegal, and the efforts of the
community to stop this life threatening beauty treatment. When a documentary makes a
proposal or offers a perspective, 'voice' refers to how it does so. This cinematic voice acts as
an attestation to the individuality of the director and serves in determining his/her controlling
organization. A very distinct cinematic voice was discovered in the process of making
Xeesal. While referring to the four elements of documentary filmmaking-indexical
documentation, poetic experimentation, narrative storytelling, and rhetorical oratory - and
applying an expository documentary strategy, this research explains the cinematic
documentation process of skin bleaching in Dakar, Senegal, with a consideration of ethics
and inspires reflection on the history of skin bleaching and mythic origins of documentary
filmmaking."

"A new generation of designers, most of them Millennials, are redefining the way creative professionals advocate for equality and social justice. Graphic Design has the potential to be a powerful tool for these young designers to advocate for change, however current societal and cultural restrictions surrounding mass communication, such as the boundaries of political correctness, prevent such designers from developing the critical thinking skills necessary to question the status quo and propose new approaches to achieve social justice. This thesis addresses the repercussions such boundaries of communication cause, especially when designing for social issues, and proposes civic consciousness as a new way of approaching critical thinking and user–centered design to move away from such boundaries, ensuring success in provoking social change."

"With the population of cities growing eponentially, cities are beginning to have to deal with the fact that they must feed and house so many people. Moving the production of foods, especially produce closer to the city is a way of aleviating this problem. Detroit is the perfect location to begin a complete exploration of strategies on how to implement farming operations within a city. The city lacks identity and because of that has not been able to recover once the automobile industry left the are. This thesis lays out a way for Detroit to find its identity while helping inform the world about urban agriculture. Through its three phase process, the city will create jobs, food, and help bring down the carbon emmisions created by our current food production line."

"Grain elevator silos are not recognized as 'buildings' according to the IRS, therefore
making grain elevators not eligible for tax incentives. However, the current Secretary of
Interior Standards Rehabilitation Guidelines leave room for interpretation that silos are
capable of being successful examples for rehabilitation. Grain elevators would have a
higher chance for reuse if federal tax incentives were permitted. Currently there are no
guidelines on how to appropriately reuse concrete silos. However, there are already
examples around the world that express the many capabilities of adaptive reuse for
these structures. Through an original adaptive reuse design project located on
Hutchinson Island we can prove that these structures will have the capability to succeed
under the Standards of Rehabilitation, as well as, regenerate life back into these aging
tombs."

"Representation matters. Anyone living in 2017 has probably heard this phrase before. It seems like
every other day there is a headline or news article about whitewashing or the amount of diversity or
lack of diversity in a television show or film. As this escalates, some writers and producers try to defy
the current social tide. From 'Ghost in the Shell' to Netflix's 'Iron Fist' – it is clear that creators are finally
seeming to catch on that diversity is important. Entertainment – especially television – is slowly but
surely becoming more diverse and it is refreshing to see. One medium, however, has been slow to catch
up to changing diversity norms in entertainment and it may be the most important yet: animation. This
thesis includes the pilot script for an animated series, concept art for the series, and an academic paper.
The academic paper focuses on the importance of showcasing animation featuring people of color in the
animated superhero genre, more specifically African Americans – and most specifically...African
American women."

"The purpose of this paper is to address the use of 2D flat art in 3D animation by applying
flatness texturing, analyzing different aesthetics concerning flatness and three-dimensionality, and
developing a technique to incorporate flat design aesthetics into 3D animation. The visual
component of this paper will apply 3D texturing and lighting in 3D animation to achieve a visual
look similar to flat art."

"The aim of this thesis is to identify strategies to incentivize just community development in
contexts affected by emotional distress and conflict. The original focus honed in on how to
incentivize the process in the community itself. Personal interactions with the facilitators of
community development during primary research then led to the realization of a previously
neglected facet of this case: the emotional distress experienced by the facilitators of community
processes themselves. Frustration, loneliness, and tiredness consistently affect the effectiveness
of their work. In order to take care of others and facilitate meaningful relationships that
generate just community development, community workers need firstly to take care of their
individual emotions. That is how Intertwining responds to this complex dynamic of emotional
distress, providing a methodological approach and implementable toolkit, to be used
individually and collectively."

"This thesis will analyze how technology changed the aesthetics of animated dance over time. Selected films will be reviewed in chronological order, starting with the film era and ending with the digital age. New technology and new techniques affect the artist’s choice of color, movement, and image."
